The Original STM32 Primer

STM32 Primer1 - 10,000 Users Strong...
In the hands of over 10,000 STM32 enthousiasts and engineers, the original STM32 Primer1 continues to inspire new applications and new users. All of the original Primer resources remain available here in the "Circle," as well as forums to support you in your exploration and development with the STM3210xB.
In the face of overwhelming demand for the Primer1, Raisonance took user feedback into account and created the STM32 Primer2, with a range of new features and improvements... but with the same objectives in mind: provide our community a fun, interesting, easy, low-risk develoment environment for STM32.
Complete, Fun Platform for Evaluation and Development
The Primer1’s ergonomic design with MEMS-based controls (navigate by tilting the tool left, right, backward or forward) and LCD display provide fun and easy control of the demonstration firmware that includes graphical user interface and games based on the resources of the STM32 microcontroller:
- Maze – A game where the player navigate inside a labyrinth, eating dots to win points while avoiding ghosts.
- Breakout – A game where the player uses a paddle to bounce a ball against a wall of blocks, destroying the block to win points. Win the game by destroying all the blocks.
- Configuration - Configuration and test applications have been pre-installed in order to check your STM32-Primer capabilities. From the main menu of the STM32-Primer1, launch the “Config” command. The following parameters can be set:
|
 |
- CPU Freq – choose the speed of the STM32 processor
- Backlight – adjust the backlight intensity.
Note: Backlight is the main source of power consumption (with the LCD monitor itself). Reducing the backlight intensity extends the duration of the power supply when the Primer is powered by the battery.
- Time – set the clock of the STM32 Primer1. The RTC clock functions even if your Primer is shut off.
- Test – perform a quick factory test of the Primer features.
You can add more applications to your STM32-Primer1 by downloading them from the projects pages.
The STM32 Primer1 provides a range of hardware features combined with the Raisonance application development solution. It includes:
- An LCD color monitor (64K colors, 128x128 pixels)
- Two USB connectors:
-
One push button to switch on the power supply and to launch menu commands,
-
MEMS accelerometer for capture of the 3D-position information (implemented in navigation controls on the Primer1)
-
NIMH batteries for operation when not connected to a host PC
- Two footprints on the printed circuit board for
- IrDA transceiver (top side, close to the "Debug USB port")
- Connector for some unused I/O pins
